Christ the Redeemer 🇧🇷☦️
10/10 recommend. 4 wonders of the world, 4 more to go.
Side note; One of the monkeys did try to take my Alabama shirt from me… at least he has good taste 🤷♂️.

33rd Company just completed our first trip to Argentina 🇦🇷 — Corrientes.
We partnered with a local church, @cc.conexion and @ccconexionresistencia where we hosted a Make Disciples Event to equip everyday believers to win the lost and make disciples daily.
And God moved. Powerfully!
We equipped and sent out 59 believers.
• 144 gospel conversations
• 86 people said YES to Jesus
• 89 phone numbers for follow-up
This is what happens when believers step out in obedience.

Connected with God through creation at the largest waterfall system in the world.
“… and his voice was like the roar of many waters.”

Grateful for what God is doing through @33rdcompany . What a wild weekend full of life changing encounters, healings and salvations.
The best is yet to come!
We’ve seen it over and over again — when we say yes to God, He shows up.
Not always how we expected. Not always on our timeline.
But always faithful.
Thank you for leading us this morning, Ps. @landonaschott !

2025 was a year full of joy in spite of challenges. Great moments in spite of disappointment. Laughter in spite of tears. Friendship in spite of business. Growth in spite of weariness.
This year was marked by many great moments in spite of things that were out of Lizzy and I’s control. We were elated to announce that we were pregnant with twins in June only to suffer two miscarriages in the summer. It was hard on us. In my early 20’s I thought subconsciously that I would avoid the storms of life that those older me spoke of. However I ended my 20’s what felt just like Tsunami waves crashing over our house. When the year began our church had a saying that correlated with our word for the year…
“When you love God for no reason, no reason can take that away”
This year Lizzy and I were full tested in this! When I sat down with a leader a month later after our miscarriages he asked “Are you mad at God” and my answer was simple “No”. Why would I be mad at a God who has given us such an amazing life together?
I’m married to the most amazing woman in the world, I have the best community surrounding me, I go to the best church in the world, I have the job I dreamed about in my early 20’s, I get to travel the world and tell people about Jesus, I am healthy, I have a roof over my head and food on the table. I’ve learned that Gratitude is the answer in the face of disappointment.
I feel like I’ve grown this last year more than ever. I’ve the honor of leading the outreach & discipleship expression within Mercy Culture and the Missions aspect for 33rd Company! It’s been fun getting to see the church activated to win the lost and make disciples like at Mercy Culture. We saw over 1,500 people born again through outreach Mercy Culture and thousands come to our weekly discipleship service at each campus. I also led 3 mission trips to some of the most unreached areas of the world. My favorite things, other than people hearing the Gospel or encountering God, was the new friends I made, Monopoly deal, and us laughing till we cried. Such Joy in the Harvest!
This year has made me a better Husband, friend, and son of God and for that, I’m Grateful!
Japan 🇯🇵🏯🍣🗾🥢
What an incredible nation! I had the honor of leading a @33rdcompany team of 28 this past week to this beautiful nation, where less than one percent of people are believers in Jesus and most have never heard the complete story of Jesus. It’s ironic how big Christmas is in Japan, yet so many didn’t know why Christmas is celebrated.
One of my favorite moments was sharing with four young men in a park on an outreach where we had Santa giving out free gifts to people. When I asked these four young men, if they had ever heard the story of Jesus, they all said “no”. Two of them shared that it was special to hear the story and wanted to learn more. But one of the young men said “ I believe what you shared about Jesus”! I got to pray with them, and three of them felt the presence of God!
As we were walking back, we got to pray for a woman who was blind. She went from only being able to see the outline of my body to being able to see the color of my eyes by the time we were done praying for her.
Besides ministry, it was so much fun getting to hang out with friends and get to know people in a greater way. We played a lot of Monopoly deal, laughed a lot and connected on deeper levels with people in our community. Tokyo is such a great city to explore and get lost in with great friends.
It was a full circle moment with one of my great friends, David Hawkins. I was on his first ever mission trip. He helped lead and coordinate to Hong Kong and China in 2018. We went to Global Ventures at the same time and interned together. One of the projects we had to do in our internship was a “country project”, where we chose to mock lead a mission trip to a nation and he chose Japan! Seven years later, we were in Japan together and he’s praying about moving there!
My prayer for Japan after being there is that in the land of the rising sun they would follow the Son who has paid the price for their sins and risen! ✝️🎌
We went to Japan desperate for God, and He met us there. 🇯🇵
Nearly 99% unreached, yet hearts opened when the gospel was shared. The name of Jesus is resonating in Japan.
If your heart burns for the unreached, Text NATIONS to 59090.
